Preferably the impeller and the feed rotor are driven in the same direction of rotation about parallel horizontal axes so that the material is fed beneath both those axes, and the rate of passage of material through the opening(s) is regulated by a sliding door(s) or other closure means.<img id="iaf01" file="imgaf001.tif" wi="80" he="64" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" inline="no" /></p></abstract><search-report-data lang="en" id="srep" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="srep0001.tif" type="tif" orientation="portrait" he="295" wi="208" /></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
